It's one of those types of situations like: people never come over unless your house is at its very worst.

Being a stay at home mom, going out anywhere is cause to look nice. So, generally, no matter where I'm going, I always try to make an effort to look nice. But today, eh, I just wasn't in the mood. So, I threw on my sweats, put my hair up in a pony tail, had the barest of make-up on (foundation and mascara) then threw the kids in the car and went to play group.

After it was all over, I thought, hmm, I want to go check out that emergency preparedness store at the end of the street. I'll just stop by and get a quick look at what they carry.

Turns out while I was there, so was channel 8 local news. Long story short, the lady there asked if she could take some footage of me and the kids looking around then to ask me a few questions.

Go figure.

So, not only am I grubby looking and I was distracted by my kids pulling at my legs and banging on stuff in the background, I sound like a complete idiot.

The best part though was how they were able to manipulate just a small part of my answer to, "Are you here today because of the failing economy?" To which I replied, "No, not necessarily." Gotta love the media.

super cool people speak:

I watched the video and you look GREAT Sarah! You didn't look 'grubby' at all. And awesome job on the answers! I would have sounded so dumb if they asked me to comment. I need to start stocking up myself:-)

AWESOME!!! My daughter and grandbabies are now television stars!! (smile) Just think Sarah...you were dressed for the part...hard times...the economy hurting...If you had all your makeup on...dressed really nice...they...might have overlooked you...(smile) Actually, you looked BEAUTIFUL!!! As ALWAYS!!!
